Would you Rather?
definitely the flu even if it lasts two weeks Would you rather have an e-mail pen pal or a snail mail pen pal?
children - the elderly tend to act like you're stupid just because you're younger than them - but kids are usually a lot of fun!Would you rather mow the yard or weed the garden?
Weed, I guess. At least then I could listen to an audiobook...Would you rather do (outdoor) yard work or do (indoor) house work?
usually indoor - because I overheat too easily and have a low heat toleranceWould you rather watch sports or a war movie?
bologna.. i don't trust meat in a canWould you rather gon on a tropical vacation or a cozy cabin in the wilderness?
I'm poor (my husband is in graduate school and I work for the government...), and thus don't have a million dollars to give away, so I'd take the million dollars. If I were rich and HAD millions of dollars, I would love to be able to give a million away to people in need.Would you rather be rich and miserable or poor and happy?
That's a loaded question isn't it? Who would choose to be unhappy? Who would choose to be poor?Would you rather have an Indian or a Chinese takeaway?
Go wild! Maybe even buy my own Indian takeaway restaurant!Would you rather buy one really expensive outfit from a designer, or go to Primark, T J Maxx or other discount house and buy a lot of clothes?
I'd rather be the picked on one. I hate the thought of being intentionally mean to someone else.Would you rather stay home and read or go to the bar and get drunk?
Neither, but a stomachache would mean no eating for a bit and therefore no weight gain.Would you rather play Scrabble or Monopoly?
OYE! Scrabble, I guess. Monopoly is monotonous. I'd rather play almost anything else... (NOT RISK though!)Would you rather play a board game or a card game?

lol
Being around a naked, leering man doesn't sound like any problem at all providing its Brad Pitt or another '10' man.
Why would you forget the 'real' you? I've been with famous people who have had loads of money and I was still me. I wasn't any different (just better-dressed). The few very famous very rich friends I have are quite ordinary when they are at home!Would you rather live in a big house in its own grounds or in a penthouse with views of the city?
House with grounds - I could be a hermit and read all the time!Would you rather have a large extended family or a large group of close friends?
I have a large extended family, although I don't see them very often.. My mom is one of 8 kids, and my dad is one of 6... and all their siblings have 2-8 kids of their own... my cousins have kids... It's a giant family. I DEFINTELY can't name everyone.But that being said, I'd still rather have the large family, if only because I wouldn't want a large group of close friends. I like having a large group of friends, but I'd rather have just a few close ones. Is that weird?
Would you rather be called "peculiar" or "quirky"?
Quirky. Peculiar sounds like you're the crazy cat lady or something.Would you rather go to a concert or a show on Broadway?
Due to my religious belief about the afterlife, I think I'd rather die. I don't want to revert back to diapers...Would you rather skydive or bungee jump?
have people think i'm a lunatic.would you rather run a mile on hot lava rocks or swim a mile in ice water?
Be my own powerful mutant but hang out with Wolverine!If you could fly or have amazing mind powers which would you have?
Fly. Save on gas.Would you rather live in an RV and travel around the continent or live on a yacht and sail the oceans?
Petra X wrote: "Pierced. Just one needle.Would you rather live in Paris or in Rome?"
Tattoing is just one needle. It's just one needle over and over and over...
TV, if I screw up in a play it can't be edited out.
Would you rather have no physical sensations or be emotionless for the rest of your life?
neither - lack of physical sensation can be a form of torture, and can drive you insane: lack of emotions leaves you isolated and can also drive you insane!Would you rather have people think you're brave but foolish, or wise but gutless?
I'm not going to go on a quest to FIND death or anything, but I'm not going to hide from it either. I DO hope that I have enough warning that I can mentally prepare myself for death though...Would you rather live somewhere very hot or somewhere very cold?
Very hot. There's always aircon and a swim.Would you rather have a full English breakfast (bacon, eggs etc) or a continental one (croissant, orange juice etc)?
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... *googles*After a bit of research (having never realized there was a difference between the two... silly American...), I have decided that I would have have a full English breakfast.
Well, I'd rather have Swedish crepes (with lingonberry butter and lingonberry jam).... And to be COMPLETELY honest, I'd REALLY rather have ice cream. But between the two, I want English.
Would you rather eat cold cereal or oatmeal/hot cereal?
Cold cereal, I just love those not-so-good-for-you sweetened cereals, especially Luck Charms!Would you rather receive money or a non-money gift for your birthday?
Right now I can't think of anything I really want, so I'd take the money. (Of course, my birthday isn't until November, so who knows what I'll want then...)Would you rather listen to the radio or listen to an audiobook?
Movie star all the way. It would be so fun :D (plus being a movie star usually means you also get to do some modelling...)Would you rather take a flight or take the train?
To the country, for sure. I like cities if I'm visiting them, but they have too much hustle and bustle for me to want to live there. And plus, there is nothing more appealing to me than to have a nice swing in a country backyard on a warm summer evening to spend hours upon absorbed in my favorite book! :) Would you rather go without music or without books for an extended period of time?
without music - I think I'd stop breathing if I had to do without books!Would you rather have to go to a scary doctor's appointment for yourself or for a family member?
Family member, coward that I am.Would you rather have dinner with Barack Obama or Sarah Palin and why?
Sarah Palin - I'm conservative, and I enjoyed her speeches.Would you rather spend the weekend at a mystery house party (where everyone becomes a detective except the actors, who you don't know), or a Renaissance Faire?
Ahhh I like this question! I have always wanted to do the first--weekend at a mystery house party!! What fun!Would you rather be elected as a public official or win the lottery, a large jackpot?
I'll take the 7 dogs as it is something I do happily on a regular basis anyway!Would you rather drink a fruit smoothie or a milkshake?
I would rather drink the milkshake, but I'd probably feel too guilty and go with the smoothie. Would you rather travel by plane or by train?
Train just cause you can see more. Planes are faster tho and that's my usual platform of travel.
Go bald or have gray hair?
Go bald or have gray hair?
Go gray. Gray is not forever - a colour is only 20 mins away.Would you rather climb Mount Everest or swim the English Channel?
